Clin Case Rep. 2015 Jun;3(6):342-4. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.226. Epub 2015 Mar 10.

Abstract

Gemella morbillorum is a rare cause of infective endocarditis. Consequently, little is known about the natural course of endocarditis secondary to this pathogen. Herein, we report a case of cardiogenic shock as a complication of acute mitral valve regurgitation following Gemella morbillorum native valve endocarditis.

Keywords: Bacterial; Gemella; cardiogenic; endocarditis; mitral valve insufficiency; shock.
